The former Charlton star was recommended to Ian Holloway by Crewe boss Dario Gradi and what a capture he’s proved to be with five goals already this season.

Blackpool (21/20 to be relegated) say they have a clause in the loan deal, with first option to sign the forward – that may yet be disputed!

2) Marouane Chamakh (Arsenal – free transfer from Bordeaux)

The Morocco international has given a different dimension to the Gunners, with his hard work and ability in the air causing Premier League defences major problems.

Chamakh (12/1 to be Premier League top scorer) has got 10 goals in all competitions to date, and you can bet there will be plenty more to come, especially if he gets a regular strike partner.

3) Javier Hernandez (Manchester United – £6m from Chivas)

The Mexico striker looks like a real star of the future and United are one of those to have found a diamond from the World Cup.

Hernandez is only 22 and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, filling in at spells for out-of-form duo Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney.

4) Ben Foster (Birmingham City – £6m from Manchester United)

He and Blackburn’s Paul Robinson have been the most impressive keepers in the league this season and Foster now looks the closest challenger to Joe Hart for the England jersey.

His confidence was dented at Old Trafford but the 27-year-old has kept six clean sheets, in front of a solid Blues (25/1 for top six finish) back four.

5) Rafael Van der Vaart (Tottenham – £8m from Real Madrid)

The Dutchman has inspired Spurs this season after his last-gasp move to White Hart Lane before the summer window closed.

Van der Vaart looks a steal for Harry Redknapp and if he can stay fit, the 27-year-old will surely lead Spurs (8/1 to win FA Cup) to silverware or the top four this season.

6) Asamoah Gyan (Sunderland – £13.25m from Rennes)

His signing may have raised a few eyebrows, but the doubters have already changed their mind about the Ghanaian international.

Despite only four starts to date, Gyan has already shown he can torment even the best of defences and has five goals to his name.

7) Peter Odemwingie (West Brom – £2.5m from Lokomotiv Moscow)

Another surprise arrival to the English top flight, Odemwingie?s electric pace and eye for a goal doesn’t look out of place.

The 29-year-old is the Baggies’ top scorer with six goals, helping Roberto Di Matteo’s men up to ninth in the table (West Brom 13/2 to be relegated).

Raul Meireles (Liverpool – £11.5m from Porto)

After a shaky start to life at Anfield, the Portuguese international looks a class act and is starting to run games from midfield in the absence of Steven Gerrard.

The one thing missing so far has been goals, but with a fierce strike on him, it won?t be long until Meireles is a regular name on the scoresheet.

9) David Silva (Manchester City – £25m from Valencia)

He may not have taken the Premier League by storm, but slowly and surely the Spanish international is showing just why City paid all that money for him.

If given the chance to weave his magic, Silva will become one of the best players in the English top flight but will City (8/1 to win the 2010-11 Premier League title) be patient with the wing wizard???

10) Martin Petrov (Bolton – free transfer from Manchester City)

A bargain free transfer, Petrov has struggled to cement a regular berth in a Wanderers team that is taking huge strides forward this season.

But when the Bulgarian has been given the chance, he has excelled and the highlight so far was a stunning strike in the comeback draw with Blackpool.
